ECM8.New()

Type: CLASS FUNCTION

Purpose: Creates a new ECM8 object.

This object is a software construct that must be associated with a physical ECM8 before it is useful.

Similar to Pstat objects, an ECM8 object does not need to be associated with specific ECM8 hardware when ECM8.New() is called. If a system contains more than one ECM8, the user can select among the available multiplexers in the Setup() function's dialog box.

The associated ECM8 is identified by a ECM8No variable.

Usage: ECM8.New(Tag, ECM8No, Prompt)

Tag	STRING	Used in Save/Restore, File Output to identify and label the ECM8 object.
ECM8No	INDEX or	Indicates which physical ECM8 is associated with the ECM8 object. Range is 1 to 4.
	NIL	Indicates no ECM8 associated yet. The ECM8 is selected in Setup().
Prompt	STRING	Used in Setup() to identify the ECM8 selection line.
